	abstract = {Direct Numerical Simulations are performed to investigate the instability mechanisms in a capsule-like configuration with a rough wall under both wind-tunnel and reentry conditions. The growth of unstable modes induced by different roughness patches is analyzed in both the linear and non-linear stages up to the laminar-turbulent breakdown. In the case of reentry conditions, high-temperature gas effects significantly change the temperature profiles of the capsule boundary layer and have a non-negligible effect on the stability properties of the roughness wake. },
